"This bridge will only take
you halfway there
To those mysterious lands you long
to see:
Through gypsy camps and swirling
Arab fairs
And moonlit woods where unicorns
run free.
So come and walk awhile with me
and share
The twisting trails and wondrous
worlds I've known.
But this bridge will only take you
halfway there--
The last few steps you'll have to
take alone." Shel Silverstein
A Light in the Attic is perfect
reading material for a cold (I'm becoming a West Coast softie) nostalgic
weekday night complete with hot toddies and hot lulu's and a hot heater and a
hot (as in sexy) Christmas tree. Indeed it is sexy.
This evening (minus the bourbon
spiked hot beverage of course) reminds me of my 2nd/3rd grade self reading poems,
dreaming about quests, and castles, and talking animals, and magical tree
houses, and living life in run on sentences, and informing my classmates
that it is was totally cool for me to dress as peter pan for Halloween because
Mary Martin played him in the live musical version. DUH.
This reading material also reminds
me of how I have to return my library book to the library.
